What is a bimetallic strip is used for?

Typically as a thermostatic controller. Two metals bonded together in a strip will bend one way or the other depending on the temperature. Each metal will expand or contract to a different degree, causing the strip to bend. Using that bending to trip a contact point to start or stop a heating or A/C unit provides an accurate way of controlling environmental temperatures.


Compare 3 states of matter in terms of volume and shape?

The 3 common states of matter are taken as Solid, Liquid and Gas or S, L, G. * Solid has a fixed volume and has its own definite shape; cannot be compressed. * Liquid has a fixed volume and takes the shape of its container; cannot be compressed. * Gas has the same volume as its container and fills its container therefore having no shape; gases can be compressed. Solids can not be compressed so we use solids to build houses or sit at a desk made from solids.Liquids can not be compressed so we use them in hydraulic hoses or sometimes as brake fluid.Gases can be compressed so when we sit on a nice padded couch we squash the air and make our selves comfortable.


How is a bimetallic strip consisting of copper and steel used to control room temperature?

The two metals expand at different thermal rates, so as temperature increases, one expands more than the other, causing the strip to bend. If configured properly, it could be set to bend enough at a certain temperature so that it bends and touches an electrical contactor, which tells the air conditioner to turn on. Once the air conditioner has run for a while, the temperature lowers, and the metals start to contract, bending it away from the contact, and turning the air conditioner off.


What can a force change?

A force can change the speed, direction, or shape of an object. It can also cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change its motion in some other way.


Why liquid have fixed volume but no fixed shape?

liquids have a fixed volume because their molecules are closely packed together and do not compress easily, maintaining a constant volume. However, liquids do not have a fixed shape because their molecules are free to move past one another, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.

What is a metallic element that starts with letter I?

Most elements are metals, including alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, basic metals, and rare earth elements. There are three (3) Metallic elements that start with the letter "I". These metals are are Iron (Fe) and Iridium (Ir), transition metals, and; Indium (In), classified as an "other metal".


Where are most reactive metals found in periodic table?

The most reactant group is the alkaline metals. but they only really start getting really reactive the more you move down the alkali metals.


How can metals be shaped?

Metals can be shaped on heating ,when we heat a metal its molecules start moving and the kinetic energy of the molecules increases which results in low molecular attraction between the molecules. Which loosens the strength of the metal therefore, resulting the metal to change its shape easily even if very less force is applied on the metal externally.
